l very much regret that business engage

mittee have kindly invited me.
The work of your House is so fully in the
line, in religious as well as business way
with my own work here, for some eight years
more than twenty FIVE, that the occasion wocld
be one of peculiar interest to me.

completion of quarter of a century of use

acknowledge with many thanks the court
esy of an invitation to celebrate with you the
18th Anniversary of the Universalist Pub
fishing House, and greatly regret my in
ability TO be present.
Recognizing the Importance of the institu-
ton, most heartily congratulate not only the
management, but our Church at large. on the
success which has attended this quarter OF a
century of effort.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-11-12

The press is the friend of the minister, and
the best colleague he can call to his assist
ance; and am confident. therefore, that the
voice of the ministry will unite in wishing
still greater success in coming years.
There are few of the homes of our people
to-day into which the secular news, with more
or less wise editorial comment is not carried
by the daily paper; few homes into which
literary and scientific journals are not regular
visitors, and the religious publication has
now the opportunity to fill its own peculiar
place.
We are much indebted to our denomina-
tional press for what it has done; we are will.
ing to be more indebted for what it can do.
Every one must rejoice in the vigor of its
youth and feel that its future is full of
promise; and 1 mingle with my congratula-
tions the hope that this promise may be bril-.
liantly fulfilled.
